National Pear Month is in full swing! I’m working with USA Pears to highlight this wonderful holiday fruit.

Rice pudding is a sweet, creamy, and luscious dessert that I associate with the holidays. It’s perfect for sharing, snacking, and easy to make for a large group. Plus, it’s a gluten-free treat that pairs deliciously with pears! This pear rice pudding can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference. While it’s technically a dessert, you can totally enjoy it for breakfast (especially when you serve it with fresh fruit). Although it is a simple recipe with few ingredients, this is a dish that evokes such warm and happy memories for me.
